NOVPUBIn midair, Lin Qian twisted his body and swung his leg fiercely toward Qian Lang.
Under the illumination of the Red Thunder Soul Power, his leg seemed like the Thunder God Whip, mercilessly striking Qian Lang’s body.
Whoosh!
With such speed, Qian Lang was sent hurtling toward the ground, even emitting a sonic boom.
Seen from the heights, Qian Lang fell, making intimate contact with the ground.
After all, as a Sky Breaking Realm Soul Martial Artist, his physical body was far harder than the ground itself, and Qian Lang’s impact created a deep crater upon collision.
Lin Qian descended from midair, the Binding Rope around his wrists loosened automatically; he grasped it in his hand and walked straight toward Qian Lang.
At that moment, Qian Lang lay in the crater, blood spilling from his mouth, watching Lin Qian approaching.
He felt his internal organs churn tumultuously, at least several ribs broken, leaving him completely unable to move.
The disturbance caused by Lin Qian and Qian Lang wasn’t small, attracting several Inner Sect Disciples from the area to see what had happened.
Yuan Xiaoling, who had left earlier, also returned to see what was happening.
"Isn’t that Qian Lang? Could it be that he was defeated by Lin Qian?" Upon seeing the unmoving figure in the crater, Yuan Xiaoling was inexplicably shocked.
Not just him, the other Inner Sect Disciples who rushed to the scene were equally astonished.
Ever since Gao Benli returned, those who followed him were figures not to be trifed with.
Especially a few brothers who had sworn oaths with Gao Benli, all of whom were of the Sky Breaking Realm, exceptional in combat, even True Disciples dared not clash with them.
Now, it was clear that one of them had been gravely injured by Lin Qian, unable to stand.
"The Young Emperor Lin Qian has returned, the words mentioned earlier by our senior brother were all true."
"I also heard, those brothers Shi Hang and Shi Fei were taught a lesson by the Young Emperor not long ago. Now, he has gravely injured Wu Qian Lang as well!"
The gathered Inner Sect Disciples whispered amongst themselves, feeling quite vindicated at the scene.
Many disciples in the Wanxiang Sect had long disapproved of these people.
Especially towards Gao Benli, the leader who was also originally from the Wanxiang Sect and from the Coastal State, yet now looked down upon them.
"Boss, how should we handle this guy?" Lei Qian joined Lin Qian’s side, glancing at Qian Lang who was down on the ground, his eyes revealing a trace of ruthlessness, "Earlier, he clearly intended to kill, to finish you off, should we…?"
Reaching this point, Lei Qian’s expression grew more intense, and he made a throat-slitting gesture.
"It’s not for me to personally settle his account." Lin Qian stared at Qian Lang and channeled Soul Power into the Binding Rope, tossing it toward him.
The Binding Rope, infused with Soul Power, confidently bound Qian Lang tightly in the crater.
"Let’s go, take him to Maoqing Mountain, and let Bai Ren deal with him." Lin Qian instructed Lei Qian and then turned to walk toward the corridor.
Lei Qian nodded to Lin Qian, picked up Qian Lang, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling by the Binding Rope, and hoisted him onto his shoulder.
The inner sect disciples, who had initially gathered, quickly made way upon seeing Lin Qian and Lei Qian approaching.
"If Gao Benli’s men dare to attack or humiliate you again, just retaliate. If you can’t beat them, come to Maoqing Mountain to find me," Lin Qian addressed the inner sect disciples before leaving.
Afterward, Lin Qian and Lei Qian vanished before everyone’s eyes; it took a moment for the crowd to react.
"No wonder he’s called the Young Emperor Lin Qian. He’s only in the Nirvana Realm, yet he managed to defeat Qian Lang?"
"I heard that Ding Zhirong and Zhao Haiming became so strong all of a sudden because they received special training from Lin Qian."
"I’ve also heard about this, thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems it might be true."
Among the inner sect disciples, Yuan Xiaoling looked in the direction Lin Qian had left, her expression full of amazement, "This Young Emperor Lin Qian is unfathomable. He could so easily defeat someone in the Sky Breaking Realm even after binding his own hands."
Unlike the other inner sect disciples, Yuan Xiaoling did not go far, instead, she hid and observed.
Hearing the surrounding inner sect disciples discuss, Yuan Xiaoling knew they thought the binding on Lin Qian’s arms was caused by Qian Lang during the battle, possibly some kind of special soul device.
But Yuan Xiaoling knew the full story; it was Lin Qian himself who had bound his own hands, adopting a posture intentionally humiliating Qian Lang.
Shortly thereafter, on Maoqing Mountain.
Bang!
"Figure out how to deal with it yourself," Lei Qian tossed Qian Lang onto the ground in front of Bai Ren, and Lin Qian spoke to him.
Seeing Qian Lang bound on the ground, Bai Ren first expressed surprise, followed by a resentful look in his eyes.
It was because of this man that his legs had been severed, leaving him to lie in bed; in Qian Lang’s eyes, he was nothing but an ant.
Bai Ren vividly remembered asking why Qian Lang did not simply kill him after having his legs cut, and how Qian Lang had responded.
"Kill you? I think it’s more amusing to sever your legs and leave you crippled."
Looking down at Qian Lang on the ground, Bai Ren laughed heartily, "Not even you could have imagined that one day you’d fall into my hands."
"Rest assured, I won’t kill you. I’ll just cripple your cultivation and turn you into a cripple as well," Bai Ren glared with his red eyes and roared at Qian Lang.
"If you dare to really do this, big brother will never let you go. If you let me go now, maybe you can still leave a whole corpse," Qian Lang, bound on the ground, wasn’t panicking; instead, he was shouting out loud, "Big Brother’s grandfather is the Sect Master of Wanxiang Sect, a powerhouse in the Life and Death Realm, you..."
Before Qian Lang could finish his words, Lin Qian kicked him, stomping on his mouth.
Suddenly, Qian Lang’s mouth was filled with blood, nearly all his teeth crushed.
Lin Qian squatted down, looked at Qian Lang with a cold smile, and said, "Your so-called big brother Gao Benli, and his grandfather, I don’t care about them, you know?"
Saying that, Lin Qian patted Qian Lang’s face, "If you don’t believe it, wait till Bai Ren cripples you, I’ll send you back to your brother’s side and see for yourself what can they do to me?"
"I leave it to you," Lin Qian said, then stood up, turned, and left toward a small house leading to a secret chamber in the back courtyard.
Lin Qian had decided to find his recuperating master, Wei Wushuang, to see if there was a way to accelerate the recovery process.
